** While El's blowing the Demogorgon across the room being mistaken for the result of Lucas's slingshot attack is played for laughs, it's a bit of an awesome moment as well: note how Lucas saves that particular shot for [[AttackItsWeakPoint when the creature's mouth is open]], which probably wouldn't have turned the tide, but is definitely a stroke of inspiration on Lucas's part that requires a ''very'' cool head, given the circumstances. Heck, just the boys facing this thing down with a ''slingshot'' after seeing trained black ops troops empty submachinegun fire into it [[FiveRoundsRapid to no effect]] takes some serious brass.
* Any time Joyce gets angry at somebody, you know they're in for a beatdown. When a character spends so much of her screentime showing her vulnerability and desperation, it's so satisfying when she puts somebody in their place. Her being unfazed by Lonnie's cruelly condescending attitude and telling him in no uncertain terms to piss off especially counts.

*** The fact that they're doing that instead of trying to escape [[GoThroughMe because El is lying incapacitated on the desk behind them]] means the scene doubles as a moment of heartwarming.

*** He might not have realized just how deadly a fall from that height into water would be; the conversation in the first episode between Hopper and his deputy (who believed an acquaintance's claim to have jumped off it before without suffering any serious injury) [[ChekhovsGun at the top of that same cliff]] highlights the fact that not everyone is aware that at or near terminal velocity, water might as well be cement.

* For his own part, Jason singlehandedly [[RousingSpeech rousing]] the entire populace of Hawkins to fight back against the danger menacing them -- a danger which he convinces them is genuinely supernatural -- is fairly awesome in itself (albeit it's targeted in [[WitchHunt entirely the wrong direction]]).

** Really, the entire climax of the episode is a masterpiece of acting, CGI, cinematography, editing, music, practical effects and sound effects. There is no question this has become the SignatureScene of the entire series.

** Really, the entire climax of the episode is a masterpiece of acting, CGI, cinematography, editing, music, practical effects and sound effects. There is no question this has become the SignatureScene of the entire series. The internet is awash with videos from "Reactors", many of whom had not even ever seen the series before or truly understood what was going on but were still screaming at the top of their voices for Max to keep running and literally weeping with relief when she made it.

* Robin cracks during interrogation when the torturer is about to pull off one of Steve’s fingernails. The awesome part is how she seamlessly transitions in to an absolutely brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and then Steve explains that the Russian’s cover is blown and the authorities are on their way, and then the alarms start blaring…
